Voting Aye;. A11 No: None Although not considered a zoning matter, the Board desires the Commission's attention to be called to the fact that no off-street parking facilities are provided, other than the carports at the ex reme nor a ge o e pro~y. Possibly some additional space could be provided along Stella Link far visi- tors, etc. An application was submitted to the Board by Mr. Burke Holman, Attorney represent- ing the several owners of property fronting Bellaire Boulevard, between Academy Street and West Point Street. After studying the request, the Board expres'~'s~e~a feeling that this request merits most serious consideration, but that careful study must be given to the effect on adjoining and other fringe property. Motion by Mr. Hannah, seconded by Mr. Gill, that the Board withhold immediate action, but that the .City Attorney be requested to submit an opinion on the legal aspects of the problem, and whether rezoning the property as requested would jeopardize the overall or special ordinances. Voting Aye; All No; None With no other business to come before the Board at this time, upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the meeting was adjourned.
